First and foremost, before we really get into discussing the aforementioned bopping, it should be said that if you happen to be a fan of the film, this game is a bloody, bloody treat. A game only following the events of the film would likely be quite short and, again, largely about running. Therefore, the meat of the game presents an impressive amount of back-story regarding how the Warriors built up their reputation enough to be considered for inclusion in the big gang meeting hullabaloo that takes place at the beginning of the film. Following which, you get to play through the events of the film as well! Nice!

In addition, five optional flashback missions are unlocked as you progress through the game. These detail how the Warriors started their gang and recruited all of the major members. The interesting thing about these, as well as the main missions, is the deeply shocking fact that they’re actually pretty well done. It’s not as though the subject matter is horribly complex or especially gripping but it is certainly interesting enough, which is a feat in itself because, one, this is a video game like some download racing games for pc and, two, it’s a beat-’em-up. Overall the storyline fits the movie as well as the game, adding depth to the latter, and making it that much more entertaining in general.
